To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLGA H. WHITE, a"

citizen of the United States, and a resident vented certain new and useful flniprfive ments in Games, of which the following is" a specification. i L

' This invention has for its object 'theijpro-. vision of an inspirational or e'ducational game which is in such attractive form'a's to fascinate and hold the attention of children and thereby form an'interesting means of inculcating ethical rinciples in their'ininds While they are at an impressionable fageg To this end,'I haveinvente d the game which story of King Arthur andthe' Knights of the Round Table or the Se'arch for'the" l-Iolyi' Grail,the,Cup'ofHappi-ness. i. More specifically, the new'game comprises a-dial which is designed to simulate' the hisr i the :Iniddlefof the dial, and provided with 1a"point 14. I'have'designed the dial and spinner to resemble the original round table of King"Arthur,fpreserved in the courthouse of the castle of Winchester, England, "Further reference. to this structure will be made inj'describing' the manner ofplaying torical round table, with symbols on o'p'po site sides thereof, designating desirablqand" attributes 'of' corresponding undesirable character, with numbers assigning ipo'sltive and negative values tosuch attributes, to

resentation ofa spir'al'stairway, so colored as to form a basis for a scientific studyof colors.' The stairway gives the'thought' of] a long upwardclimb from a lowv base or accepted as the most base, of the prismatic 3 0 3 .Tlhe .n x hi t e n st p 22m, :01-

7. A game comprising a dial having symbols oppositely disposed thereon designating desirable and corresponding undesirable attributes of character and numbers associated with said symbols assigning positive values to the desirable attributes and negative values to the undesirable attributes, and a pointed spinner, combined with a board bearing a representation of a' spiral stairway, and a plurality of images adapted to be moved on the stairway representation in a direction and to a degree indicated by the position of said spinner relative to said numbers.
